Health Disparities
The American Cancer Society Cancer Disparities In Culturally Diverse Communities
Racial and ethnic minorities and the medically underserved are more likely to develop cancer, and die from it, than the general U.S. population.
Cancer health disparities are defined as differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer and related adverse health conditions, beyond what would be expected under equitable circumstances that exist among specific population groups in the United States.
